Halloween Season... lots of build up

Halloweenlots of build upall sorts of build upthen it is gone...much like most holidaysmuch like most parties

Halloween is a big holiday to the kidsI enjoy it as well... but not to the level of my boysinterestingly enough Halloween may not be as big of a deal to my boys this year as in years pastthere was a time when Halloween was not just a day... it was Halloween Seasona season that started at the beginning of September

during Halloween Season there was all sorts of build up and preparationcostumes were not a one night thingcostumes were an everyday thingwhich was great... that eased the pain of a 45 dollar costume

to my pleasure and my frustrationthis year we were able to move away from the store bought costumesthe boys each came up with ideas and we developed themsure Grant had the urge to purchase the Commander Cody Deluxe costume... but I fought his effortsluckily... the Bobba Fett jet pack that I made out of a camelback... some tape... and some plastic soda bottles was enough to inspire him to create his own costumemuch better than store boughI am not a fan of the mask blocking the child's facein fact... I like the costume to be more than a costume... but apparel that inspires some sort of role play

Grant got into his role of bounty hunter Bobba Fett

and Dean...Dean created his own super hero CLIMBING MANwho was going to have a "G" on his chest for Gwadzwhich of course would have people calling this unknown masked superhero with such climbing ability THE GECKObut... after the creation of the cap by cutting the sleeves off a black trench coat and attaching ropes, a some caribeaners to the interior I figured things were good enoughno need for the "G"

also interesting...years prior the boys were more enthused by the Halloween set ups at people's lawnswhile this year they were all about the candyour boys teamed up with some neighbors and sprinted our trick or treating routefast and efficient with the requisite TRICK OR TREAT and THANK YOUtoday I need to throw away a few of our moldy pumpkins

it was an excellent Halloween Seasonpumpkins were carvedhay was played with in our urban back yardand trick or treating brought in some serious loot that I am enjoying eating all of

yes... I was Ang.... THE AVATARran into some other AVATAR characters... they were nice... but not from my worldtoo bad I am displaying the wrong side of my "glider"
